Steves Bodacious Barbecue Ribs Recipes

BEST BARBECUE RIBS EVER

Steps:

• Combine the brown sugar, chili powder, 1 tablespoon salt, 1 teaspoon black pepper, the oregano, cayenne, garlic powder and onion powder in a small bowl and rub the mixture on both sides of the ribs. Cover and refrigerate 1 hour or overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. In a roasting pan, combine the broth and vinegar. Add the ribs to the pan. Cover with foil and tightly seal. Bake 2 hours. Remove the ribs from the pan and place them on a platter. Pour the liquid from the pan into a saucepan and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to a simmer and cook until reduced by half. Add the barbecue sauce.
• Preheat an outdoor grill to medium high. Put the ribs on the grill and cook about 5 minutes on each side, until browned and slightly charred. Cut the ribs between the bones and toss them in a large bowl with the sauce. Serve hot.

BODACIOUS GRILLED RIBS

Steps:

• 1. 1. Prepare grill for direct cooking. Cut ribs into 4- to 6-rib pieces. Spray 2 sheets (24X18 inches) aluminum foil with no stick cooking spray.
• 2. Combine paprika, basil, onion powder, garlic powder, red pepper and black pepper in small bowl.
• 3. Rub on both sides of rib pieces. Place half of ribs, in single layer, in center of each foil sheet.
• 4. Place 4 ice cubes on top of ribs. Double fold sides and ends of foil to seal packets, leaving head space for heat circulation. Wrap each foil packet with another sheet of foil. Place on baking sheet.
• 5. Slide packets off baking sheet onto grid over medium heat.
• 6. Grill, covered, 45 to 60 minutes or until tender. Carefully open one end of each packet to allow steam to escape.
• 7. Stir together BBQ sauce and preserves. *I use Kraft Honey BBQ Sauce. **I use homemade wild plum or apple or muscadine or grape.
• 8. Open packets; transfer ribs to grid. I just leave on the foil, so the BBQ grill doesn't get gunked up.
• 9. Brush with sauce mixture. Continue grilling 15 to 20 minutes, per side, brushing with sauce and turning often until glazed.
• 10. Enjoy!
